Des Knaben Wunderhorn; No. 14: Revelge, low voice (B-flat minor, transposed): Low Voice, Orchestra Accompaniment

Gustav Mahler (1860-1911) began composing the songs of Des Knaben Wunderhorn (The Boy's Magic Horn) in 1892, finishing in 1901. Comprised of 15 songs total by the end, each sets folktale texts, as published by Achim von Arnim and Clemens Brentano, to music with piano accompaniment, though some also have orchestral accompaniment. Revelge (Reveille) was written in July of 1899 and was the penultimate song written for the collection. Originally intended to replace another previously written song to keep the collection at twelve, Revelge is actually the fourteenth among the total songs written.
